Eating and drinking in NYC in Showtime's 'Billions'

For two seasons, "Billions" — the Showtime drama about money and power in the world of New York high finance that airs Sundays at 10 p.m. — has set scenes in some of the city's best-known bars and restaurants, from the lowest of the lowbrow (a throwback dive bar in the Bronx) to highest of the high-end (a Michelin-starred restaurant in downtown Manhattan).

Season three is no exception, with U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades running into an alienated friend at Veselka in the East Village and the hedge fund elite hosting their annual strategy meeting in a private room at Del Posto in Chelsea.

"Billions" co-creator and showrunner Brian Koppelman and his team pick the dining environs with care, because the series is concerned with all forms of currency — decisions about where to eat and drink being one of them.

If all those bars and restaurants seem to blend together after binge-watching the show, don't worry: We've collected some of the best below so you can eat and drink like Chuck, his nemesis the self-made Wall Street billionaire Bobby Axelrod, and all the other psychologically manipulative characters.
